Around here no one will mess with a tire with a sidewall issue any more.
The tire will flex badly at that spot and will pinch the tube sooner than later. Inner boots can help but the edge of the boot itself adds another spot that can pinch a tube. And the real issue these days is that tubes are poor quality, they cant take the stuffing as they could 30 years ago.....
